I've heard about you. I've heard about you, too.
Mickey Mantle
I can't play any more. I can't hit the ball when I need to. I can't steal second when I need to. I can't go from first to third when I need to. I can't score from second when I need to. I have to quit.
Mickey Mantle

Mickey Mantle
Casey wanted us to stay loose. That didn't mean clowning around. He just meant we should be confident and relaxed. We shouldn't feel that one strikeout was going to end the season for us.
Mickey Mantle
I expected him to say, 'Hang in there' or something like that. It took me an hour to talk him into giving me another chance!
Mickey Mantle
I don't know why, but for some reason I seem to be more popular now than when I was playing.
Mickey Mantle
Because the players knew that if Billy asked them to jump off a roof, he'd jump off with them.
